		Nelson Bass, 
 
I will have to do some research on Atma-sphere OTLs.  Making a tube amplifier does interest me.  I felt the need to make the F5 as the reference for comparison.  The F6 looks less familiar with the transformers, so I would probably stay away.  Some version of the J2 may be interesting if the supply of SemiSouth are not depleted or suitable replacements arrive if and when I decide to build.  I also have some interest in the 7 Pi speakers.  An intermediate step may be to educate myself on amplifier design basics. 
 
Maybe bi-amping does not make sense.  I have not particular goal for sound improvement in mind.  I am probably just looking for an excuse to build another amp. 
 
A DAC is definitely on the top of my priorities.  After I built my 4 Pi's, I discovered how bad digital music playback can be.  The term jitter was new to me and I thought the transfer of digital information was perfect.  I am reasonably happy with my Squeezebox Touch, but there should be room for improvement. 
 
Dave
